No after the game....

The Sunday games are also underwhelming, 

Sunday, June 13
North Melbourne v Greater Western Sydney, Blundstone Arena, 3.20pm AEST

Sunday, June 20
Hawthorn v Essendon, MCG, 3.20pm AEST

All stand alone games, although, Hawks v Bombs could be close, but full of errors.

I guess it is lucky the round starts on Thursday.

Are you keen to play on Thursday nights?

Yes!!! A win on Thursday night means we can sit back for the weekend and watch all the ne’er-do-wells battle it out. ?

Hawks actually got a Friday night game...interesting.

Assuming the Thursday night games will go for 3 or 4 weeks and then typically disappear again.

They usually play the TNF games over the bye rounds for some reason (ironically when there's fewer games on)

Lol I’ve always wondered why they did that but with a full slate no Thus games.

The best way to kick off a round, aside from seeing the Dees get a win, is seeing Duckwood swearing at the umpires, moments after Geelong have lost in the dying seconds of a close match.

Round 15 v Essendon Saturday night at the G (their home game) another prime time game as well as obviously Queens Bday in round 13 (bye in round 14)

Bombers off a 6 day break too.

We are getting a good draw!

Perhaps the AFL are kind of apologising for last years horrible draw for us.

Still more draws to come and favourable could change to bad.

That will make it 10 of 14 FTA for the club Gonzo ... fantastic exposure but we need to keep playing well.

Entirely possible of course with a relatively low injury count and competition within the ranks (to keep all the players on their toes)

Hate Thursday footy. So hard to get there in time from work. Massively late night by the time you get home. I’m too old for that [censored].

very few have been in the prime time slot though Macca

Saturday night is a shared time slot with an interstate game thus preventing national coverage and Sunday 3:20 is just ok

Thursday and Friday nights are where the big boys play

I reckon any FTA game is miles ahead of cable or streaming.  Especially those graveyard cable slots where only the very keen know which games are which

Saturday night on FTA beamed into Melbourne is the guts of a TV audience and what the club would be looking for

Rounds 11 & 12 are Friday night games and the following week we have the QB holiday Monday to ourselves.  So that's 3 weeks in a row to a total national audience. 

We can't have every week like that

Brighten up DJ ... good things are starting to happen.  Embrace!

In fairness there aren't a lot of great options that week if you take out the QB. As ratings go it's probably the best of the worst options available.

I think the reason is scheduling. If you play on Saturday then on the following Thursday that is a five-day break. So you can only really play on a Thursday after a bye or something like that. I think that is also often why we have a bye after QB.

watching Eddie last night he was saying that the only thing holding Thursday night football back was the FTA channels commitment to existing programming. Suspect the same applies to Monday night football.

Others on the panel said players didn't mind a 5 day break as long as it was limited to once or twice a season

Tell that to Brisbane, playing in Melbourne on Saturday then have to back up with a Thursday night game against the Cats.

AFL will use it as a bargaining chip at the next media rights agreement. Why give them TNF for free when you can make them pay for it?

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
